What happens here

Following the preparation of the sub-base, the next critical step is the precise installation of coping pieces around the perimeter of the pool or patio. These pre-formed, typically concrete or stone, pieces are carefully laid along the edge. The video highlights the use of levels, visibly placed on the coping, to ensure accurate alignment and consistent elevation. This meticulous attention to detail is vital for creating a flush and aesthetically pleasing finish, which not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a durable and safe edge for the pool or patio area.

Goal: Install pre-formed coping pieces along the pool or patio edge
